This digital color press is designed for the consumer who runs jobs on a daily basis and expects quality graphic output. The Ilumina offers flexibility and control, a more productive workflow, and a comprehensive solution in their budget. We’re raising the bar for the 4-color press at a reasonable price.” said Ross.
